I am an evil giraffe. Who no longer blogs about politics.

And it can be summed up as follows: you read newspaper articles online, yes? And you know full well that the comments sections to said articles are universally filled by crazy people who write like they had to cram to pass the Turing Test, yes? And so you know to either not read newspaper comment sections, or else simply skim them for particularly good examples of Teh Crazy, yes?

Yes?

…So why are you assuming that you’re unique in all of that? – Because, well, you’re not.

PS: I don’t care how dumb you think that the American public is; they’re still smarter on the average than the subgroup of people who comment on online newspaper articles.

I generally don’t even bother to read the comments, Although lourae is right it does rarely, have some entertainment value. Sometimes, you can normally tell from the subject matter, and that is the interesting part! Subject matter varies the value of the comments!
